All of a sudden, there are plans for 3 (as of now and still counting) world-class GRCs/SMCs between now and GE time by Q2! A full 5-months max!!
After Hougang, Tampines was announced, followed by Jurong below !!
For 4.5 years, all Ministers were asleep and within few months to next GE, all awake and announce this and that (all using taxpayers' $) !!
If election continuously for within couple of years, ALL wards will be world-class. Did someone promised SWISS STANDARD of living many many years ago and still yet to be seen (at least for lesser mortals) ?
Elections are GREAT to have! 3 CHEERS FOR EACH ELECTION !!

MINISTER Lim Boon Heng announced on Saturday the details of HDB's Remaking Our Heartlands (ROH) plans for the Jurong Lake area.
There are four key aspects to HDB's ROH plans for the Jurong Lake area: Rejuvenation of the Town Centre, Outdoor Recreational Choices, Improved Connectivity and Heartland Heritage. The plans extend beyond the Jurong Lake District into the HDB heartlands.
Rejuvenation of the Town Centre will see a new pedestrian mall with a shaded plaza between the existing Jurong East Town Centre and the upcoming JCube mall. The existing Jurong East Town Centre and 10 neighbourhood centres nearby will receive distinctive street furniture and landscaping.
Over the next 10 to 15 years, the Lakeside will be developed under the Outdoor Recreational Choices plan into a world-class leisure destination for residents and visitors. New attractions such as waterfront hotels, parks and promenades will be added around the scenic lake.
Improved Connectivity will come in the form of a comprehensive network for pedestrians and cyclists which will enhance accessibility for residents from the nearby housing estates to the key attractions and facilities, including MRT stations. This network will be at least 24 km long.
Other plans include a heritage corner in the Jurong East town centre, two new public housing sites (comprising about 1,200 new flats over the next five years) and estate upgrading programmes. This announcement comes two weeks after Minister for National Development Mah Bow Tan announced the government's $1 billion plan for the second phase of HDB's ROH plans, which will also benefit the Hougang and East Coast areas.
